4 All Source Intelligence Analyst AFSC 1N0X1 CAREER FIELD EDUCATION AND TRAINING PLAN Part I Preface 1. This Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) is a comprehensive education and training document that identifies life-cycle education/training requirements, training support resources, and minimum core task requirements for this specialty. The CFETP will provide personnel a clear career path to success and will instill rigor in all aspects of career field training. NOTE: Civilians occupying associated positions will use Part II to support duty position qualification training. 2. The CFETP consists of two parts; both parts of the plan are used by supervisors to plan, manage, and control training within the career field Part I provides information necessary for overall management of the specialty. Section A explains how everyone will use the plan; Section identifies career field progression information, duties and responsibilities, training strategies, and career field path; Section C associates each level with specialty qualifications (knowledge, education, training ); Section D indicates resource constraints. Some examples are funds, manpower, equipment, facilities; Section E, when used, identifies transition training guide requirements Part II includes the following: Section A identifies the Specialty Training Standard (STS) and includes duties, tasks, technical references to support training, Air Education and Training Command (AETC) conducted training, wartime course, core task, and correspondence course requirements; Section contains the course objective list and training standards supervisors will use to determine if Airmen satisfied training requirements; Section C identifies available support materials. An example is a Qualification Training Package (QTP), which may be developed to support proficiency training. These packages are identified in AFIND8, Numerical Index of Specialized Educational Training Publications; Section D identifies a training course index supervisors can use to determine resources available to support training. Included here are both mandatory and optional courses; Section E identifies MAJCOM unique training requirements supervisors can use to determine additional training required for the associated qualification needs. 3. Using guidance provided in the CFETP will ensure individuals in this specialty receive effective and efficient training at the appropriate point in their career. This plan will enable us to train today's work force for tomorrow's jobs. At unit level, supervisors and trainers will use Part II to identify, plan, and conduct training commensurate with the overall goals of this plan. 4

NOTE: All tasks and knowledge items shown with a proficiency code in this CFETP are trained during wartime. 9

10 Section A - General Information 1. Purpose. This CFETP provides information necessary for AFCFM, AFSM, MAJCOM functional managers (MFMs), commanders, training managers, supervisors and trainers to plan, develop, manage, and conduct an effective career field training program. This plan outlines the training that individuals in this AFS should receive in order to develop and progress throughout their career. This plan identifies initial skills, upgrade, qualification, advanced, and proficiency training. Initial skills training is the AFS specific training an individual receives upon entry into the Air Force or upon retraining into this specialty for award of the 3-skill level. Normally, this training is conducted by AETC at one of the technical training centers. Upgrade training identifies the mandatory courses, task qualification requirements, and correspondence course completion requirements for award of the 5-, 7- and 9-skill levels. Qualification training is actual hands-on task performance training designed to qualify an Airman in a specific duty position. This training program occurs both during and after the upgrade training process. It is designed to provide the performance skills/knowledge required to do the job. Advanced training is formal specialty training used for selected Airmen. Proficiency training is additional training, either in-residence or exportable advanced training courses, or on-the-job training provided to personnel to increase their skills and knowledge beyond the minimum required for upgrade. This CFETP also serves the following purposes: 1.1. Serves as a management tool to plan, manage, conduct, and evaluate a career field-training program. Also, it is used to help supervisors identify training at the appropriate point in an individual's career Identifies task and knowledge training requirements for each skill level in the specialty and recommends education/training throughout each phase of an individual's career Lists training courses available in the specialty, identifies sources of training, and the training delivery method Identifies major resource constraints, which impact, full implementation of the desired career field training process. 2. Uses. The plan will be used by MFMs and supervisors at all levels to ensure comprehensive and cohesive training programs are available for each individual in the specialty AETC training personnel will develop/revise formal resident, non-resident, field and exportable training based on requirements established by the users and documented in Part II of the CFETP. They will also work with the AFCFM and AFSM to develop acquisition strategies for obtaining resources needed to provide the identified training MFMs will ensure their training programs complement the CFETP mandatory initial, upgrade, and proficiency requirements. Identified requirements can be satisfied by OJT, resident training, contract training, or exportable courses. MAJCOM-developed training to support this AFSC must be identified for inclusion into this plan. 10

11 2.3. Each individual will complete the mandatory training requirements specified in this plan. The lists of courses in Part II will be used as a reference to support training Converting to New CFETP. Transcribing documentation to a new CFETP is an administrative function, not a re-evaluation of training. Therefore, supervisor and trainer are considered synonymous for the purpose of documentation. Transcribe within 120 days (240 days for ARC) of CFETP revision date or from date revision is posted to automated training records system. Upon publication of a new CFETP, use the following procedures to transcribe: Use the new CFETP to identify past and current training requirements and to transcribe qualifications from the previous CFETP For tasks previously qualified/certified and required in the current duty position, circle the subparagraph number next to the task statement and enter the current date in the completion column. Trainee initials in the trainee column and the current task certifier or supervisor/trainer initials in the trainer column For tasks previously certified but not required in the current duty position (do not circle), transcribe only the previous certification date (no initials). If the task later becomes required in the duty position, recertify using current dates and initials Annotate the AF Form 623a or automated version, (for example, I certify the information contained in the CFETP dated XX was transcribed to the CFETP dated XX, and the trainee was given the superseded CFETP. Signed and dated by supervisor and trainee) An AFJQS may be used in lieu of Part II of the CFETP only upon approval of the AFCFM. NOTE: AFCFM may supplement these minimum documentation procedures as needed or deemed necessary for their career field. 3. Coordination and Approval. The AFCFM is the approval authority. The AFSM, MAJCOM representatives, and AETC training personnel will identify and coordinate on the career field training requirements. The AETC training manager for this specialty will initiate an annual review of this document by AETC and MFMs to ensure currency and accuracy. Using the list of courses in Part II, they will eliminate duplicate training. 4. Specialty Description Specialty Summary. Section - Career Progression and Information 4.2.

Skill/Career Progression. Adequate training and timely progression from the apprentice to the superintendent skill level play an important role in the Air Force s ability to accomplish its mission. It is essential that everyone involved in training must do their part to plan, manage, and conduct an effective training program. The guidance provided in this part of the CFETP will ensure each individual receives viable training at appropriate points in their career Apprentice (3). Initial skills training in this specialty consists of the tasks and knowledge provided in the 3-skill level resident course (XAR1N031 0A6C) taught at Goodfellow AF, TX. Initial skills training requirements were identified during the STRT held the week of 17 April 2015 at Goodfellow AF, TX and validated during the U&TW in March Individuals must complete the initial skills course to be awarded AFSC 1N Journeyman (5). To qualify for award of the 5-skill level, Airmen must: (1) complete duty position qualification training; (2) complete the 1NX and 1N0 5-level Career Development Courses (CDC); (3) complete 12 months UGT (9 months for retrainees); (4) meet mandatory requirements listed in the specialty description in the Air Force Enlisted Classification Directory (ECD) and CFETP; and (5) be recommended by their supervisor. UGT consists of completing duty position training/certification, any specified core task training, and appropriate courses as outlined in the CFETP Craftsman (7). To qualify for award of the 7-level, Airmen must: (1) be a SSgt or higher; (2) complete mandatory CDC s (if applicable), core tasks identified in the CFETP and other duty position tasks identified by the supervisor, unit or HHQ; (3) meet mandatory requirements listed in the specialty description in the Air Force ECD and CFETP; (4) complete a minimum of 12 months in upgrade training (6 months for retrainees), and (5) recommended by the supervisor for award of the 7-skill level Superintendent (9).

14 upon award of the CEM Code, the senior badge after 12 months, and the master badge after 5 years. Ref AFI Training Decisions. The CFETP uses a building block approach (simple to complex) to encompass the entire spectrum of training requirements for the All Source Intelligence Analyst Apprentice course. The spectrum includes a strategy for when, where, and how to meet the training requirements. The strategy must be apparent and affordable to reduce duplication of training and eliminate a disjointed approach to training Initial Skills. The initial skills course was revised to provide training necessary to prepare graduates for 1N0 data exploitation specialty requirements and related duty positions Proficiency Proficiency Standard. Units will determine proficiency requirements for 1N0X1 personnel in order to meet core task standards Proficiency Training. Additional training, either in-residence or exportable advanced training courses, or on-the-job training, provided to personnel to increase their skills and knowledge beyond the minimum required for upgrade General Guidance: Unit commanders retain the right to increase weekly training time. Documentation in training records will include the following: type of training, duration, time, scores, missed training time due to duty or other commitments, problem areas, and plans of action to improve weaknesses. The commander may temporarily release participants from mandatory refresher or remedial training for mission-related TDYs, or extended leave. All interruptions in training must be documented in training records. Individuals enrolled in remedial training are not exempt from performing assigned 1N051/1N071 operations duties. Entry into remedial training does not impact operational duty position qualification status. 7. Community College of the Air Force. Enrollment in CCAF occurs upon completion of basic military training. CCAF provides intelligence personnel in AFSC 1N0X1 the opportunity to obtain an Associates in Applied Sciences Degree in Intelligence Studies and Technology. In addition to its associate s degree program, CCAF offers the following Occupational Instructor Certification.

18 The Enlisted-to-AFIT program is a unique element of enlisted professional development. In conjunction with other training and education programs, resident AFIT sponsored science, engineering, and management graduate degree opportunities further develop noncommissioned officers' technical education and skills. This program is intended to enhance combat capability through career field core competency augmentation and to provide the air force with a source of highly proficient NCOS, technically experienced in their career field and highly educated through AFIT graduate degree programs. Prospective students must meet service eligibility standards and receive a letter of academic eligibility from the Office of Admissions and the Registrar prior to selection and assignment to the Graduate School of Engineering and Management. Interested NCO s should apply for an academic review anytime. HQ Air Force Personnel Center calls for applicants in November each year. The requirements vary, but generally speaking, a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 on a 4-point scale is needed for the standard 18-month program, as well as either a Graduate Record Examination (GRE) score of 500 verbal/ 600 quantitative or, depending on the program, a Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) score of 550. If an applicant does not meet the requirements of the typical in-resident program (generally 18 months), that individual will be evaluated for the possibility of an extended length program. This would allow the time for the student to receive additional work to bolster their academic prowess and assure successful completion. The in-residence program has no expiration date on the test scores. There is generally some latitude in the minimal GPA and test scores. Math requirements vary, but the level of math is rarely waived. Eligibility for master's programs is judged based on undergraduate work, and to some extent, graduate work when present. Evaluations for an advanced academic degree program cannot be completed until the following documents are on file: your application, official transcripts from each school attended (even if only one course was taken), excluding CCAF and CLEP/DANTES transcripts, and a GRE or GMAT score report. The GRE is acceptable for all resident programs; some will accept a GMAT or GRE. The Graduate School of Engineering and Management s Admission Office only determines your academic eligibility. HQ AFPC/DPAFE will establish selection procedures for Air Force enlisted members and announce their selections in late March or early April each year. For more information check: Additional off-duty education is a personal choice that is encouraged for all. Individuals desiring to become an Air Education and Training Command Instructor should be actively pursuing an associate s degree. A degreed faculty is necessary to maintain accreditation through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. 18
